Ryan Dinwiddie on trading Dru Brown to the Bombers:
"We want to be able to push the ball down the field and that's one of the things, I think, Jake gives that opportunity."

Day 1 of Bombers practice for Sunday’s game at Hamilton. QB Dru Brown is here, wearing #4.
As we discussed in Thursday’s pregame, there were only a couple of possibilities for replacing the #6 he wore in his first stint with the Bombers.
LG Gabe Wallace is a spectator today.
REC Pokey Wilson is working with the 1s. He left Thursday’s game with an injury.
And DT Jake Ceresna is in. He also left Thursday’s game hurt.

So, there's a substantial difference in what Dinwiddie said about deep balls and Brown's track record.
My guess is Dinwiddie sees it as an issue of potential in his system as opposed to what the history has been.
Either way, we shouldn't think 'Brown can't throw deep.'

Just one depth change for the Bombers for Thursday, despite all the shuffling we saw at practice this week.
OL Micah Vanterpool goes to the reserve roster, back from injury.
New QB Dru Brown isn’t listed anywhere yet.
LB Brody Clark to 6-game injured list.
Bombers move OL Ethan Vibert from the reserve roster to the open spot on the practice roster.
Guessing the reserve spot is needed for one of the four QBs.
Huge news from the Bombers: they’ve acquired QB Dru Brown from the Redblacks for a first-round pick in next year’s draft and a 2nd-round pick in 2028.
Wonder if that’s why Brown didn’t play in mop-up duty for the Redblacks on the weekend.

Immediately the Bombers are covered if Zach Collaros has to miss a game with injury.
Collaros also gets another QB that he likes and respects deeply.
Curious which QB will go to the reserve roster…guessing it will be Elgersma (with how good Perkins looks in short yardage)
